Were do you go to my lovely when your sick in your bed

Being single for the first time in my life (35) I have come to appreciate the difference to what it is to be in a relationship and being single, now both status’s have a up side and a downside.

The up side to be single: Well you can pretty much do anything at home, you can leave your laundry on the floor, leave the toilet seat up, wash the dishes the next day ,watch what you want to on TV and then there is you can go out anytime you want and then meat and be friends with who ever you want.

Then there is the down side of loneliness, constant companionship that is not there (love) and of course being taken care of by your companion, so imagine being single at home alone and then a illness hits you, who do you turn to? Well supposedly it would be your friends.

Amazingly a wile ago this happened to one of my single friends, now this happened before I met her, but she told me the story , when I had flue and since then , I have always checked up on ill friends

She had flu and she went to see the doctor, he gave her a prescription and send her of to bed, when she got home she had a meal, a dose as described and then went to bed, she woke up two day later , because the had a reaction to one of the medicines that the doctor gave her, that sad thing is that no one , not even her friends ,knew about it , so no one checked on her , on her cell she had one missed call from her mom who called the day she woke up.

Now anything could have happened to her and her because she didn’t tell her friends about her being ill she could even have died, this would have been terrible and I can’t think anything worse

So what is the moral of the story, if you are single and alone in life and you do get ill, tell someone to come and check in. you don’t want to end up like my friend did

I believe, in the real world, life actually follows reasonable principles. Despite the baffle and Bull, the short term push and pull, even exploitation, eventually the multitude of forces kicks you back to reality. For us that simply means, if as a country we want to grow, we have to invest. Read more...

I constantly ask myself what is the point of everything? A complex question and awfully deep but I know it is a question not unique to me. Possibly many of you have had similar thoughts. But really what is the point of it all? Read more...

“Never” is an infectious word, like a flu virus. Once you’ve caught it, everything loses its sparkle. It’s commonplace to hear people say and swear that they will never do, forget or say something. Read more...

The article by Floyd Shivhambu on the absence of Dr. Blande Nzimande in the struggle is impressive in a highly qualified sense – the narrative and argumentation flow seamlessly to prove its point. Read more...

It is very disturbing and nauseating to witness that the North-West University Mafikeng Campus has lost reputation and respect as a result of dishonourable actions by a few groups of people who fail to fulfil the responsibilities of the positions they hold in the university. Read more...
